Kewpie’s Frankeneggs – Snowman Kimipuchi

My personal best is 15 shots.
Spirytus Rektyfikowany is in high demand in Japan where it’s being used as an alternative to rubbing alcohol. This is the stuff we were known for using in our serious cocktails at both Rumours and Bill’s Bar in Nara. Green Gaijin, anyone?

平成から令和になる前の20時頃、戎橋から道頓堀川へダイブしようと思ったけど船に落下した瞬間の動画らしい… pic.twitter.com/O9O1mz9eH2 — こな (@aaosaka90) May 1, 2019 Alt. view: 道頓堀、令和カウントダウン飛び込みダイブで事故発生。危険ですのでやめましょう。 pic.twitter.com/zahGn8Tz4s — iva (@sui_uj) April 30, 2019 Apparently he just walked off when the boat docked. That’s the Ebisubashi bridge (Nampabashi/Hikkakebashi) under the famous Glico neon sign, where I spent approximately 0.004% of my total time in Japan.
